Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.

Reasons for this Finding: The recent changes in weather with forecasting precipitation, lower temperatures and higher humidity levels, have abated high fire hazard conditions for the foreseeable future.
